He was totally calm the entire time even though he also seemed distressed & contemplative. I asked him when this started & he said 2 years ago. I said that he was taking all of it well & he said that last year, he was terrified & scared but now, he was dealing with it better. 😭
He told me that he had finally figured out what was happening to him. He was quantum jumping. Every time that steel truck appeared, he'd quantum jump into another universe where everyone would change. I explained to him that some of the people changing & disappearing might be more explainable. 🤞
I explained to him about how, for some people, their personalities might change after COVID infection. He asked me how often it happens & I told him that I didn't know but I'd seen it several times with people I knew. I offered that maybe some of the people who'd changed might just have gotten sick.
As I explained it, he listened sincerely, nodding, and said, "maybe...maybe...", contemplating the possibility. He was calm the whole time, accepting of his new reality. In his mind, he was adjusting to the framework of being a quantum jumper. Instead, he was adjusting to probable psychosis.
Joined this group as an escape. Didn't expect to be confronted with that. I feel so terrible for him. I don't know if he got sick & had this happen to him or if his mind broke from the strain of everything. I just don't know but it was honestly heartbreaking. 😭
